    At least Britain solved its issue with migrants … not:

    Since Britain left the EU, migration has been at the highest levels since records began; while key sectors face staffing shortages.

      I looked into this, and it seems that nowadays UK is getting lots of educated immigrants from India and a few other countries. Racists are obviously going to hate seeing so many foreign faces and hearing foreign languages, so in that regard Brexit has failed. That was the whole point, wasn’t it? To make Britain white again?

      Anyway, having educated people should still have a positive impact on the economy as a whole, although that might not be enough to mitigate the damage inflicted on other areas of society.

        That’s hardly a benefit of brexit though, is it? Educated people from India, or elsewhere were always welcome. From what I gather the largest surge right now is from dependants. The educated Indian will bring his family, while the educated (of not) German would not.
